2. Reference Case (Based on 7th Plan Assumptions)
Adjusted LTM loads with RPM expected EE and DR?
Import availability
Spot (2500 MW all hours winter, 0 summer)
Purchase Ahead (3000 MW off-peak hours, all year)
IPP generation
Full availability winter
1000 MW summer
EE quarterly mean and peak from RPM
Regional wind modeled as BPA wind
Regional solar has fixed generation pattern

3. Suggested Scenarios Reference Studies (using LTM loads)
Reference Case (med load, 2500 MW import)
Load Ranges (med, med-high, high)
Import Ranges (0, 2500, 3400)
Sensitivity Studies
Reference case with STM loads, RPM EE, DR?
Reference case with STM EE shapes
Reference case with STM loads and EE shapes
Fuel limitation: Remove Gray’s Harbor (650 MW)
Reference case with no new DR
